Rubber Walkway Goes Down Fast, Lasts for Years

Here's a smart alternative to bark mulch, made from 100% recycled tires. A landscape backing holds the shredded rubber in place, while it also suppresses weed growth. Each 22" by 72" section is easy to install, and the 2" lip of fabric down one side ensures continuous coverage over wider areas. We recommend anchoring the mulch with our Earth Staples, sold separately.

I ordered two of the mats for two separate uses - one for a dirt cover in a walkway in the garden and one at the entrance to the side porch. Both uses, so far, are working nicely. One caution: the rubber itself is fragile, loosely woven. However, there is a back mat of solid, lightweight material that assists in holding it all together. Walking on these mats has not damaged them and the water drifts off and away.

I was tripping on roots and mole uprootings in stone pathways..much smoother to walk over preventing falls.The mulch is applied carelessly to the backing in gathers and crooked so a roll won't last long. Mulch chips off after 1 month use.

I used this product to make a walkway behind the shrubs in the back yard. My dog would run behind those shrubs daily to get to the back door. On rainy days this meant there was always a cause to wash her feet. Now my problem is solved. The walkway was easy to tack down with the offered staples and now it runs all along the once muddy route. Great product.

we used the product for a long pathway with curves. it installed relatively easily but product was inconsistent in thickness. some portions of the 'strips' barely had attached rubber material. I would give it another try.

I've used this recycled rubber walkway in my rock garden for a few years now and it works very well. No weeds grow in it or through it and it has held up under Alaska weather extremes. It is not porous, but with careful placement on a very slight slope, I have had no issues with standing water. I bought more to keep weeds from growing under the front edge of the deck -- i will cut it in half lengthwise for that. It's heavy enough to lay flat when you mow over it.

I have several of these in my yard. I use them as both walking paths and erosion blockers. I put plastic liner under them for an added weed and grass blocker. Doesn't get slippery when wet. Holds up in all weather conditions.

I purchased the Rubber Mulch Walkway for use around air conditioners condenser units, a stand-alone grill and planters to dissuade weeds from sprouting in these small, hard-to-reach spaces. I was able to install the product in minutes; it cut easily and is performing as I hoped it would.
